Great job Todd "I do all my research on Wikipedia" Van Der Werff.  Seriously, do they even accept that in grade school anymore?

That was the dumbest joke I think I've ever heard. It took the show from HBO level to CBS-multicamera-sitcom-from-the-90s level. I am completely baffled at how that made it in.

For anyone reading this: how much younger do you think Toasterlad is than SatelliteInternetIsSkynet?  I'm going with 10-15 years.  That "people don't get me because i'm too real" thing has to wear off quickly after college, right?

The article uses the term "smart" three times, always qualified like "for a smart guy" or "despite being considered smart".  Now, how many excuses do you have to make before you consider that the guy is not really all that "smart"? 
Maher always makes me think of a joke from Spy magazine: "What passes for an…

Whereas NuWho brings in some overly-sentimental dribble, provides shipping material for every possible character pairing, and has a sonic screwdriver that is used as a panacea for all of the episodes' woes. Look at the last episode. He goes into a Dragonball Z-esque showdown with his screwdriver vs the psychic powers…

Can Annie and Shirley please stop Aw-ing at everything? They have done it at least every episode of season 4 and often multiple times in the same episode. The writing should be good enough that the characters don't have to point out the sentimentality every time.

lol. At no point was I talking about whether Jaime and Cersei or Loras and Renly in the world of GoT were fine. I was talking about the author of the review clearly painting homosexuality in a positive light (by saying Joff is more evil for thinking homosexuality is bad) and clearly saying incest is bad (by saying…

Not at all. Explain how homosexuality between two consenting adults is okay but incest between two consenting adults is not. I have an open mind and am willing to change it if I hear a compelling argument allowing one and not the other.

Kind of hypocritical of you to bash incest between two consenting adults in one sentence then support gay sex shortly thereafter.

Welcome to Hollywood.

One of the pitfalls of a medium requiring actors. It's the same reason Dany had her whole MUH DRAGUNS plotline for the second half of season 2. The actors are on the payroll and the producers want to give time to their stars.

The reason the Rains of Castamere is the only song we've heard for a while is the showrunners want the audience to be as familiar with it as possible for RW.

Yes. One of the few things they managed to do well was set Margaery up as a new and improved Cersei 2.0. There was one passing line where they said Cersei was old or Margaery was young then the camera cut to Cersei to show a moment of distress. Really fantastic as Cersei's vainness is one of the driving forces of the…

I infinitely prefer Book Shae to Show Shae simply because of how terrible of an actress Sibel is. I'm sad I still have to put up with two more season of cringing every time she talks.

There's been a justifiable backlash within Australia in the past decade against all (publicly financed) independent Australian films being miserable and depressing in a bad way. It's too bad that now they're starting to go too far in the opposite direction, resulting in utterly gutless tripe like this film.

Yoohoo, Baby!

Okay, I still remember an interview with Jordan (early Sci-Fi channel or somesuch) where he gave a very 90's pronouncement of how he knew exactly what "the last chapter and page and line" of the series would be (Strazynski used to say much the same about Babylon 5).  So, does this end in a way that someone working on…
